does anyone know of a 3/3 or 4/3 range semi-dry that would work for those of us who get a little cold warm water diving (low/mid 70's and above)? does anyone use one? i know whites (and others?) make a new tropical weight drysuit, but what about the semi- dry price point (and luggage weight restrictions to the islands)?

do the dive manufacturers have something to learn from the surf/windsurf/ski suit manufacturers out there? or is the concensus that a semi dry is worthless in warm water?

seems to me such a suit would have a good niche in the market for divers looking for better seals/zippers (or zipperless) and less flushing. call me crazy, but i think something like that new cressi facile uomo semi-dry 5/5 (7/5 according to cressi) on the diveinn site would be the best warm water suit ever - parred down to a nice, flexible 3/3 or so...

any thoughts?

thanks and dive safe
